An entirely FAIR observation on your part.
I think it is a good value and FWIW, I have to pay for next year's subscription, which I will do so happily.

His calculation is likely right on when it comes to a brand new setup with a developer who has yet to use (read: have bought) MS software previously. But for the guy who already bought Office2000 and WinXP and VFP7 and VS 6.0 I think that the "value proposition" is quite a bit different.
